Work Order Purge

The Purge Orders program (R4801P) deletes selected work orders or rate schedules from the system. The system purges the work orders and rate schedules and their associated information from these tables:

  • Work Order Master File (F4801)

  • Work Order Instructions File (F4802)

  • Work Order Parts List (F3111)

  • Work Order Routing (F3112)

  • Work Order Time Transactions (F31122)

When you purge work orders or rate schedules, the system deletes them based on their status codes. When you need to purge work orders or rates schedules that contain information that you might want to retain, you can save the purged records in a separate table.

You use the processing option for the Purge Orders program to specify whether you want to save the records that you purge in a special purge library. The system names this library JDE, followed by the current system date (without separators). For example, if you purge the records on January 1, 2005, the purge library is named JDE010105. The system creates a physical table with the same name within that library. If you purge the same table multiple times on the same day, the system adds the purged records to the records that are already in the purge table for that day.

(Release 9.2 update) The processing options for the Purge Orders program has two tabs, Process and Version. Use the processing options in the Process tab to specify whether you want to save the records that you purge in a special purge library and to specify whether you want to run the Purge Work Order Ledger (R48019P) program. Use the processing option in the Version tab to specify the version of the Purge Work Order Ledger (R48019P) program.

(Release 9.2 update) The processing options for the Purge Work Order Ledger (R48019P) program has two tabs, Process and Version. Use the two processing options in the Process tab to specify whether to purge parts lists and/or routings ledger along with the header. If specified, then the Purge Work Order Parts List Ledger (R31119P) and the Purge Work Order Routing Ledger (R31129P) programs are processed. Use the processing options in the Version tab to specify the version of the Purge Work Order Parts List Ledger (R31119P) and the Purge Work Order Routing Ledger (R31129P) programs.
